Looks like MD to me..[Edit]..On second thought, I'm thinking maybe it is. Looking at Variety Vista http://varietyvista.com/1972PDDO004 cent.htm, most of the markers are there. The T in Liberty doesn't look quite right, and I don't see the die chips on the RIM. But other than that...How does the eye look?

 

ive had it checked out by 3 reputable coin dealers and its a definite counter clock wise die rotation they don't specialize in with type it is ill post better pics

 

I don't see it either.

No doubt it is the correct rotation, but the "OD WE TU" do not appear to be correct to me. I did not count the 'R' as it appeared to be damage. MD I believe.

 

stage a says there isn't any die chips

 

another angle showing the double die better

 

if it was MD the doubling would be flat not raised as seen from the shadow

 

I think the doubling is "flat-ish" or there wouldn't be such a dark shadow between the two, but you have it in hand.

 

What about the reverse?
Also, is that a die chip I see in Lincoln's mouth?
I'm thinking maybe 007.

 

1% chance that photo #1 is good.

The others?

All NO!

 

my vote would be for 007 as well... http://doubleddie.com/384301.html

 

A.K.A., "Bond. James Bond."

 

i'm about 99% sure it isn't 004. The extra thickness, especially on IN and WE in the motto, just isn't there on the OP's coin.
